Some people probably do take a draw off jobs part way through I generally just wait til i'm finished and cleaned up.

They always find excuses, had one the othee week for a couple of grand, I had to take out over draft just to tie me over as had bought new tools and materials for another job.
Sent the usual 'did you get my invoice' message the following day.. they responded 'yes, thanks again'.. I reminded them it's payment on completion.
Next day, checked bank, nothing, left another email, no reply.
Next day called the house phone and spoke to his misses, asked what was going on 'oh, itll be paid, he's been away working for a few days, I'll make sure he pays it this evening!'
Money was in that night.
It makes my blood boil, its so rude and inconsiderate, there is no excuse to not pay IMMEDIATELY on the day you finish. They make you feel bad messaging them, and right at the end after all the palava find 30 seconds to transfer the wedge. Why can't they just do it whens agreed?!

i worked for a woman who was just a bitch. She paid us minus £100 because that’s what she deemed we ought to be paid. Power trip, she’d obviously done it plenty of times. Her reasoning was because the walls weren’t completely straight... it was a re skim. Was going to take her to court for it because was bloody livid! But in the end we couldn’t be arsed.

I had one last week. Was on and off the job for a month and money was never mentioned on any of the visits. Mate who ran the job assured me it’ll be fine. Finally finished the job and they asked for an invoice. Ok no problem I said and I send one the same evening.
Didn’t get a reply. Thought ok I’ll see how long it takes. A week later I lost my patience and sent another e mail. Got a reply a day later saying they’ve been busy and not had time to send it! Takes minutes ffs!
Another day went by after numerous checks in my account and finally it came through! Cheeky f**k**s.

I took some time out about 12 years ago to start a money lending business, so I know the ins and outs of getting money back off people.
Basically you cant.
I tried court action, bailiffs...nothing worked. If they dont wanna pay they dont have to, is what it boils down to.
If the debt is over (i think its) £750 then you can petition for their bankruptcy, but like the other routes, it just costs more money that you arent guaranteed back.

I ask for installments if it's over a grand, some times forget though! Atleast if they are trouble paying after the first grand then I don't lose more!

You must be working for them southerners or something.... I have BY FAR had more trouble with arsehole medium sized building companies than with private jobs. Trouble with weeks in hand and holiday pay and all that. Every private job I've ever done except one was no problem at all.

You wouldn't go into f**k**g ASDA walk away with stuff and say I'll send the money over asap "family problems"
It's like they think;
"oh yes you the small business you look vulnerable.. yes I will not pay you of all people hehe"
Love to stab them with my Marshaltown!
Really we all should give a written agreement before we start no matter the size!
